It’s actually very simple.

Paste the code below wherever you want it drawn into a template.

<form method=”post” action=”&mvt:global:sessionurl;” name=”MiniSearch”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”Store_Code” value=”&mvte:store:code;”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”Screen” value=”SRCH”>
<input type=”text” name=”Search” size=”20″ value=”Enter keywords” onFocus=”document.MiniSearch.Search.value=”;”>

</form>
